It is basically used to make drugs such as acetaminophen fungicides, methyl and ethyl parathion insecticides, and dyes and to darken leather. Nitrophenol kills bug because it is used in bug spray and helps us darken the leather we have for our clothes. Nitrophenol is used in Japan, Australia and Denmark United states
Nitrophenol is not proven to cause any major health problems like cancer but it is proven to cause the people who produce the product health problems some very seriously but it is nothing you will not get over with medication. As far as environmental aspects of Nitrophenol is degrades very fast and it doesn’t have a long life spend when it is released into the air. There aren’t really any political effects if Nitrophenol is banned because it is by far a deadly chemical.
I think since this chemical should be banned and an attentive should be provided. Some might argue that this chemical does not cause any serious health effects that can cause death but what if it was your child working with the chemical? If you knew that they would be capable of getting sick you would not want them any were near the chemical. So think of it as your son or daughter. As I said before I think for one year we should pick 1-10 chemicals and maybe see what they have in common and you might even just find a way to kill two birds with one stone.
Background information
4-Nitrophenol is a colorless to light yellow solid with no odor.
The chemical formula for 4-nitrophenol is C6H5NO3, and the molecular weight is 139.11 g/mol.
It is used to make drugs such as acetaminophen fungicides, methyl and ethyl parathion insecticides, and dyes and to darken leather.
Some good things about Nitrophenol is that it kills bug because it is used in bug spray and helps us darken the leather we have for our clothes. Nitrophenol is used in Japan, Australia and Denmark United states
Human Health effects
Nothing has been found or proved that Nitrophenol has given cancer and when they did some test on mice there was nothing found. They also did tests on the chronic affect of this chemical but they couldn’t find any in human or animals from inhalation or oral exposure. They also did another test on animals for the chronic affects but they did the test on certain parts of the body’s system such as respiratory, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, muscular, immune, and central nervous systems, or the liver and kidney. Only affects that they saw were on dermal irritation consisting of erythema, scaling, scabbing, and cracking of the skin. Some of the health effects are small but usually severe in humans are headaches, drowsiness, nausea, and cyanosis. Contact with the eyes causes irritation.
Environmental implications
When released it the soil, this material is expected to have a half-life of less than 1 day. When released in the water, this material is expected to biodegrade really fast. When released into the water, the material is expected to have a half-life between 1 and 10 days. This material is not expected to really bioaccumulate. When released into the air, this material may be normally degraded by photolysis. Whatever cannot be saved for recycling should be handled as hazardous waste and sent to a RCRA approved waste facility. Processing, use or contamination of this Nitrophenol may change the waste management options. State and local disposal regulations may drift away from federal disposal regulations.
Production
What they basically do when they make Nitrophenol is they take Nitrophenolorobenzene and they take water out of it and then they catalytic it and dilute and then you have
Synthesis/Refinement of Nitrophenol
Nitrophenol resins are based upon various support materials. The Nitrophenol resins are prepared by amide bond formation between a hydroxyl nitro benzoic acid and an amino alkyl polymer support.
If Nitrophenol was banned a lot of the products we use today we would not have but at the same time even though it hasn’t been shown that this chemical causes cancer but it does effect other parts of your body that if exposed can cause a lot of damage so if it were to be banned people that work it factories or other places were this chemical is processed would be less capable of getting sick and maybe even dying. Some of the things that we wouldn’t have that would affect us is we wouldn’t have any hair or bug spray or in some cases we wouldn’t have drugs such as Tylenol. This would affect me because I love to die my hair and change my hair color as well as many Americans so if they banned Nitrophenol then we wouldn’t have any hair dye. I also hate bugs as do many people so if they were to ban it would I use to kill them. Some of the countries that export Nitrophenol are India, Bangladesh, and Asia. One thing that Nitrophenol has an impact on is pesticides and how people get rid of bugs and they cost or the “Lowest cost alternatives” that I could find would be 20million dollars just to use different chemicals to exterminate Americans houses
Summary
All I can say is that to eliminate Nitrophenol it would be very costly process because a lot of things we use Nitrophenol for today, we wouldn’t have. From my research they haven’t found anyway that would be cost efficient to completely eliminate Nitrophenol. When we or if we do take away the chemical the biggest benefit would go to the people that are in the factories producing the chemical and putting there health at risk everyday to make Nitrophenol. Although they are not very serious medical complications, they still would be sick for at least a couple of days. Although many Americans are not at risk for getting harmed by this chemical its still has a big impact on us when it’s gone. Not only does it take from things that many thing Americans use such as Tylenol, hair dye, bug spray something to are very essentials to most Americans but it is very costly to replace and will have a big impact some if not many Americans. I think that there is a more cost efficient way to produce this or have something else takes its place. I don’t think the government wants to find a way because it’s going to take time and a lot of money. I really think what they should do it my personal view is to have about 15-20 chemicals that are harmful to the environment and people and take 2 years to research them or more and find out what they really can do about the chemicals because maybe they might find one stone to kill two birds. They will never know unless they try and see what happens.
